Chapter 1300: So Angry My Lungs Might Explode

Chapter 1300: Chapter 1300: So Angry My Lungs Might Explode

"I think... there shouldn’t be any more." Xiao Ruofeng wasn’t all that sure himself.

"Don’t ’shouldn’t’ me, give me a straight answer." The reporter said.

"I really can’t say. I don’t have a straight answer myself. Our CEO just lets me know last minute whenever he’s decided something. I’m basically on standby all the time." Xiao Ruofeng smacked his lips.

Really ought to let Zhao Gushen listen to this.

Look at this guy, he’s already got opinions about having to work during his vacation.

But him?

He doesn’t have vacations at all!

Working his ass off every day without complaint.

Even on holidays, as long as Zhao Gushen needs something, he has to crawl to the company if he has to.

No matter the time, no matter the place.

Sometimes when Zhao Gushen is on business trips overseas, because of the time difference he often calls in the middle of the night.

Anytime between two and four in the morning.

And he still has to drag himself up to work, doesn’t he?

If you ask Xiao Ruofeng, this little bit of workload the reporter’s whining about doesn’t even register.

It’s not nearly enough to stir up his empathy.

All thanks to that dog of a CEO.

"So do you figure there are more coming?" The reporter had to ask.

"I figure that’s all." Xiao Ruofeng said.

Once this announcement goes out, Zhao Dingye and his son are going to blow up.

Figuring Zhao Gushen won’t have the spare time to stir up any other trouble for the moment.

The reporter wanted to say, next time just send all this stuff out in one go.

But then he remembered that what Xiao Ruofeng says doesn’t count for much.

So he hung up while cursing Zhao Gushen in his heart.

Changyi.

The first thing Zhao Dingye saw was Changping’s announcement removing Zhao Guqing from his position.

He was just about to call and demand an explanation.

Even if you really are going to dismiss him, shouldn’t you at least give me a heads-up first, discuss it with me?

And now, without him knowing a thing, Zhao Guqing has been fired in such an utterly disgraceful way.

Zhao Guqing stood in Zhao Dingye’s office, his face dark and greenish with rage.

He’d been cursing out Zhao Gushen like crazy in his heart the whole time.

"Dad, Zhao Gushen must have sensed the threat I pose to him, that’s why he kicked me out of the company." Zhao Guqing said in a deep voice. "He’s so petty, how could he possibly tolerate me? Once he saw I was a threat to him, he figured he’d better strip me of all my powers early, so I wouldn’t have a chance to push him down."

Zhao Dingye: "..."

Even as his biological father, he had to say, where on earth did Zhao Guqing get this confidence from?

"Ahem." Zhao Dingye cleared his throat and asked, "What have you done recently that could threaten Zhao Gushen’s position?"

Could it be that Zhao Guqing had done something he didn’t know about?

"Not recently, I mean my ability all along." Zhao Guqing said. "At the beginning it might not have stood out, but over time my performance at work only got better and better, so of course he started to fear me."

Zhao Dingye: "..."

Just where does Zhao Guqing’s confidence come from?

Zhao Dingye really couldn’t make sense of it.

If you ask him, it’s purely that Zhao Gushen wants to find an excuse to kick the two of them out of Changping Group.

"Have you given Zhao Gushen any leverage on you lately?" Zhao Dingye asked with a frown.

Given how cautious Zhao Gushen is, he wouldn’t just issue an announcement like this without any reason at all.

"No." Zhao Guqing said, full of confidence.

To be fair, he did stop to think it over.

No... probably not?

Anyway, even if there was, he couldn’t admit it.

Now Zhao Dingye really felt something was off.

He immediately picked up his phone and pulled up Zhao Gushen’s number.

But before he could dial, another new email popped up on his computer screen.

At first, Zhao Dingye didn’t pay it much mind, just glanced at it casually.

But when he saw the big, bold subject line, he was completely stunned.

He hurriedly put down his phone, giving up on the call, his hand shaking as he clicked open the inbox.

He didn’t even know if it was anger or what.

He’d just thought maybe his eyes were playing tricks on him.

This time he opened the email, reading it word by word, and still couldn’t believe it.

He even rubbed his eyes for a long time, shut them and waited a while before opening them again.

Because he’d rubbed too hard, when he looked at the screen, his vision was full of streaks and static.

But no matter what he did, that announcement email was still sitting right there.

He’d been removed from his position too!

It felt like his heart was racing out of his chest, his lungs about to explode from rage.
